Zhu sat down opposite Princess Yongmu; the two were of equal rank.
The headwear and clothing are all pretty much the same; it's just a matter of personal preference.
Princess Yongmu was younger.
Lady Zhu was the most powerful woman in the harem, and she coldly watched as Master Taihua cried.
She had a son, and after the Empress Dowager's death, both Lady Dong and Lady Cui were deeply saddened.
Xie Ji couldn't show any emotion, as if any movement would touch their fragile nerves and make them think he was going to take something from them. But the Eastern Palace clearly had a crown prince.
Xie Ji was Princess Huayang's younger brother, but she didn't even give Prince Zheng a chance to show off, let alone Xie Ji.
But she's going to cry now, she's going to cry sooner or later anyway.
If Zhu hadn't been careful, she might not have survived to this day and become Consort De.
Why is it that Master Taihua can live so freely? Even now, people still want to indulge her every whim.
Everyone has their own personality; aren't they all forced into it? It's already good enough that Zhu didn't retaliate against her.
Zhu did not retaliate, because she herself had brought this upon herself and let Qing'e suppress it.
Therefore, Qing'e was very capable, and Zhu would consult with her when there were matters to discuss.
Qian Sha had nothing else to say but how Zhu Shi should treat her.
Huan Yue was speechless. She shouldn't get involved in such matters, but when asked, she said, "What do you think, Consort Qian and the Sage?"
Zhu said, "It's nothing."
Huan Yue said, "Let's do it normally then. Otherwise, it won't be good for anyone."
Zhu understood.
It wasn't that she was trying to curry favor with Qian Sha; it's just that things were normal in the harem now, so she could treat Qian Sha a little better.
In the past, if anyone had a happy event, it would be a bloodbath.
Now, all we need to do is take good care of Qiansha and ensure the baby is born safely.
When the harem is at peace, the world is at peace.
We don't need to act like sisters, but we should stay within the bounds of etiquette and humanity.
If the imperial harem is like a gladiatorial arena, how can the children raised there be any good? Regardless of who wins or loses, they are unlikely to be any better off.
Princess Yongmu thought Consort De was a stable person. That's why her father valued her.
Father usually doesn't care because he's too busy to manage things, but if he really opens his eyes, he's probably quite accurate in judging people.
Huan Yue boldly reminded her, "Let Consort Qian rest and focus on her pregnancy. Prenatal education is important for the child."
Zhu nodded with a smile, meaning she just wanted Qian Sha to behave herself.
There is still some danger in the inner palace, and Zhu will keep a close eye on it.
Whether Qiansha has a son or a daughter has no impact on her.
She no longer vies for favor; she just wants to live a peaceful life.
It would be good enough if a sage could respect her and give her some rights.
As for the sister-in-law that Qing'e had her eye on, Zhu didn't argue at all.
Qing'e was willing to give up her position to her sister-in-law, let alone Zhu Shi, who was a generation older, and there were some things that were inconvenient for the younger generation to do, so she still had to take care of them.
No matter how virtuous Princess Peng was, she was still young.
Master Taihua cried until he was speechless.
Everyone could laugh and chat even while she was crying.
Princess Yongmu said, "You really have no idea how many sins you have committed."
Master Taihua looked up, intending to hit her.
Princess Yongmu sneered, "Try it?"
Master Taihua is now truly unable to use his hands, he can only use his words, and he cried again, saying to someone unknown, "Changchun Temple is uninhabitable, the buildings are all dilapidated."
Huan Yue asked, "Do you want to build it like the Qing'e Palace?"
Consort Zhu asked, "Is Zhaoyang Palace still the same as the former Kunyu Palace?"
Huan Yue said, "You wouldn't be thinking of building a small palace, and like Xie Geng, having a few people call you emperor, would you?"
Princess Guangning's consideration for her second sister-in-law was truly comprehensive.
Princess Changning said, "Could it be that you want a fiefdom because you see that Zichan Mountain has a lot of fields?"
What else did Princess Guangning see when she looked at her fourth sister?
Princess Yongmu said, "Changchun Temple is quite a large place. If we cultivate a few acres of land to grow vegetables, we can earn a lot of money."
Huan Yue said, "Land in Sheng'an City is very valuable. As long as the vegetables are grown well, people will come to buy vegetables every day even without incense offerings."
Zhu couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the scene. Was this some kind of transformation of Changchun Temple into a vegetable market?
No, not exactly. Didn't they say there are fields on Zichan Mountain?
The crops grown at Changchun Temple are not enough to form a vegetable market.
Huan Yue was enthusiastic about growing vegetables: "Besides the garden and old trees at Changchun Temple, I can definitely grow three or five acres of vegetables. Besides eating them myself, I can sell the good ones and give away the less desirable ones. It's a lot of good karma."
The princess of Guangning was tempted: "To be honest, I'd like to too. Except for the old trees that can't be cut down, we can replace them with fruit trees, like peach and pear blossoms, which are also beautiful."
Chang Zihan looked at her sister and said, "We should be able to raise chickens."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Huan Yue patted her head: "Raising a flock of chickens is great, you can eat fresh eggs every day."
Chang Zihan stopped thinking about it; it was impossible for her to own dozens of acres of land in Sheng'an City.
Xie Zhu asked his second sister-in-law, "Should we renovate Changchun Temple?"
Princess Yongmu asked, "Are you going to farm?"
It's a small matter to ask Qing'e to contribute some money, but can Master Taihua focus on farming?
Xie Zhu could help with the planting, but he was afraid something else might happen.
Anyway, if Xie Zhu wants to plant, he can get a few acres of land in his own mansion after he is granted the right to establish his own residence.
Master Taihua was conflicted.
It would be good if the moths could use the silver to repair the house, but how could she farm?
Therefore, Master Taihua cried, "I can't, my health is poor, and I can't possibly plant that many."
Huan Yue said, "If you eat three ounces of rice, a pound of vegetables, and other things every day, that's about fifty coins, or two ounces of silver a month. With such a large temple like Changchun Temple for you, how could you not earn that much?"
Zhu echoed, "Including Qionghua Zhenren, there are only five or six people."
The extra ones are all unreliable; it's already a favor that they weren't punished.
Huan Yue said, "Let's plant some vegetables and tidy up a few rooms for people to stay in."
The palace maid hurriedly said, "Be careful not to lend out the man."
Huan Yue was taken aback: "I'm not afraid of lending out a man, I'm afraid of lending out a nephew."
Princess Yongmu uttered a cold and harsh sentence: "Then you can be sentenced to death."
Taihua Zhenren does indeed want to find a few handsome young men, and some young men have already taken a liking to her.
Actually, Changchun Temple doesn't have many secrets.
Two taels of silver a month for so many people, ten taels of silver a month, more than a hundred taels a year? What would that have been in the past?
She was so angry that she cried. She had to earn the money herself.
Huan Yue did not react.
Xie Fufu knew that Ju Zhaoxun earned more than one hundred taels of silver. So what's wrong with earning money on your own?
Princess Changning wants to earn even more money!
Actually, having a Changchun Temple would be wonderful!
You could sell vegetables. If you take good care of the plants, people might come over for a visit and have a vegetarian meal while they're at it—why not make some money?
The land is expensive; she has land but is still complaining. She deserves it!
Princess Guangning thought to herself, "If there is such a place in Sheng'an, I can do something suitable, but it won't suit the tastes of Master Taihua. No matter how much others think, it's all in vain."
One of the palace maids said, "You can earn more than ten taels of silver just by growing radishes on one acre of land."
Mr. Zhu was astonished!
The palace maid explained with a smile, "This is based on the time spent in the city, not on the time spent selling. One mu of land can yield thirty to fifty shi of grain, and one wen can buy one jin. There are many ways to cook radishes, so wouldn't it be more profitable to prepare them properly and then sell them?"
Zhu probably found out.
Transporting goods from the countryside to the city for sale is indeed a challenge.
If it were at Changchun Temple, perhaps Yongjiafang could have bought everything. Several acres of land wouldn't be enough for Yongjiafang to eat.
You can go anytime you want to eat, and it will be fresh.
We'll plant radishes a few times a year, that's settled then.
